The 2013 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £5.95 (+p&p).
This review is taken from the current (2013) edition.
Slap bang in the middle of busy South Bridge, noodle bar Yocoko has developed a knack for packing 'em in. The location is one factor, bringing in a steady stream from tourists at lunchtime to late-night revellers taking advantage of the 11.30pm closing time. The portions are satisfyingly large and affordable, with a bewildering choice of noodle or fried rice dishes, grills and curries on offer. Everyone should find something they fancy, although many of the dishes turn out to be similar in flavour and execution. The Yocoko teriyaki sizzles on its hotplate for a moment but soon collapses, doing a good impression of the yaki soba minus the noodles. In contrast, starters of seaweed, edamame and meat dumplings are super salty. If you’re looking for cheap food fast and don’t mind the possibility of crowded tables, then head for Yocoko.

Horrible wait staff, attitiude and treatment. An entire tray of food dumped all over me and another customer - did they care? no. Only after I made a scene. They've tried to wiggle out of ruining my clothes, and pass the blame. They have been reported to Edinburgh Council, who have confirmed health and safety issues - dirty floors, dishes piled high, filthy tables. Avoid at all costs - these people should be shut down.
